Krychowiak was at an immediate disadvantage once Emery moved away from the attack-minded 4-2-3-1 formation he tried to implement upon his arrival. By moving back to the possession-based 4-3-3 system introduced by former coach Laurent Blanc, an emphasis was placed on the more technical midfielders.
Thiago Motta, Marco Verratti, Adrien Rabiot, Blaise Matuidi and even young Christopher Nkunku are all more gifted with the ball at their feet, and there was no space in the starting XI or even as a substitute for a player such as Krychowiak.
The formidable Pole is effectively sixth in Emery's midfield pecking order now because of his style of play. A glaring error during the 2-2 Champions League group stage draw away at Arsenal did not help his cause, either.
However, that is part of his problem at Parc des Princes.
Many looked at Krychowiak following Emery to Paris and assumed the Basque tactician had requested him. Instead, Krychowiak's well-documented friendship with PSG sporting director Olivier Letang looks to have secured him the move.
Right now, the Poland No. 10 does not appear to have much to thank his friend for after arguably the most difficult season of his career since he established himself with Reims.
Krychowiak is expected to miss the next three weeks through injury, but realistically, he will not feature much again this campaign -- if at all -- under Emery because he simply does not fit the system the French giants are playing and are likely to continue playing with the 45-year-old in charge.
Krychowiak remains an excellent player if you are looking for somebody in midfield to break up an opponent's attack and add bite in the middle -- hence his nickname of "the Butcher" -- but PSG require greater technical qualities on top of that.
Krychowiak does not offer the other characteristics, so a summer move away from Parc des Princes looks like a no-brainer at this moment.[/article]
Emery confirmed two weeks ago that he would be allowed to leave.
[article]“I have already spoken with him [Krychowiak],” Emery, who coached the former Bordeaux midfielder at Sanchez Pizjuan, told reporters.
“The best option is that he leaves, he hasn’t adapted to the team.
“He is a quality player who is able to play in a great team it’s better that he finds another team where the style of play suits him better.”[/article]
Loan with option to buy would be great.
